AKT-R4: A Diagnosis Tutor

چکیده

Diagnosis is difficult to perform and difficult to teach as it requires a large volume of information of various kinds and an appreciation of the differential diagnosis process. The fourth version of the Refiner series, AKT-R4, incorporates a new concept known as the diagnostic web, which is a combination of hypothetico-deductive reasoning (HDR) and illness scripts. AKT-R4 requires no additional knowledge acquisition beyond the loading of a set of cases which the system uses to build a model of the domain (although contextual factors can be added to provide a finer degree of control over the diagnostic process). The system will be evaluated in terms of accuracy of diagnosis, speed of diagnosis and ease of use.

Unlike previous iterations, AKTR4 will include a non-deterministic feature which will enable it to better handle noisy datasets by generating category descriptions with ‘fuzzy’ boundaries. The AKT-R4 system will be based on a case-based algorithm focussed on performing a classi...

TRAIL-R4 Promotes Tumor Growth and Resistance to Apoptosis in Cervical Carcinoma HeLa Cells through AKT

This cell death program is tightly controlled by two antagonistic receptors, TRAIL-R3 and TRAIL-R4, both devoid of a functional death domain, an intracellular region of the receptor, required for the recruitment and the activation of...

R 4 : A System to Support the Exploration of a ( Medical ) Knowledge Web

The Refiner series of intelligent systems are used to create non-overlapping category descriptions from a set of cases which have been assigned to categories by an expert. The systems generalise values for descriptors (fields) for each of the categories to create category descriptions, and suggest to the user various means by which any inconsistencies can be removed. In this proposal we put for...
